In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the inner parts of a structure or a more profound, internal aspect of a person or place. It emphasizes a deeper, more concealed part as opposed to the outer or visible.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of inner versus outer was significant in both physical and philosophical contexts. Buildings often had inner rooms or sanctuaries that were considered more sacred or private. Philosophically, the inner self was often seen as the true essence of a person, a concept that aligns with biblical teachings on the heart and spirit.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>cptv. of <a href="/greek/2080.htm">esó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>inner<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>inner (1), within (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2082: ἐσώτερος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐσώτερος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐσωτέρᾳ</span>, <span class="greek2">ἐσώτερον</span> (comparative of <span class="greek2">ἔσω</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 28 (24f))), <span class="accented">inner</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-24.htm">Acts 16:24</a>;
